I WILL not follow you, my bird, br I will not follow you. br I would not breathe a word, my bird, br To bring thee here anew. br br br I love the free in thee, my bird, br The lure of freedom drew; br The light you fly toward, my bird, br I fly with thee unto. br br br And there we yet will meet, my bird, br Though far I go from you br Where in the light outpoured, my bird, br Are love and freedom too.
